ECS LIVA X (aka LIVA 2)




We were not expecting it until next month's CES, but the LIVA X site is apparently online. Good news, the once crippled machine features a mSATA slot and is now a full-fledged PC in our books.

Actual SoC used is still a mystery but the 2.25 GHz mention is a clue : both Celeron N2808 (2 cores / 2 threads / 4.5W TDP) and N2940 (4 cores / 4 threads / 7.5W TDP) have a 2.25 GHz Burst Frequency (both are part of the lastest batch of Bay Trail processors). Given the sheer size of the cooler - now as big as the motherboard itself - we're placing our bets on a quad-core LIVA.
